Internships • LinkedIn, Bangalore
Content Filtering Tools May 2015 - July 2015
• Developed two internal tools for Content Filtering Team using Play Framework for Java, RestLi,
ParSeq, Couchbase and internal email tool.
• The first tool ran all the text spam classifiers and presented the summary with scores and confidences
• The second tool identified specific parts of the content which contributed more towards the spam score
of the text content, and highlighted them proportional to the score.

• Creation of portal for professors to create courses, update profile and view transactions; course review
and rating; related APIs for data of users and courses.

2. Projects and
Developments
• [Distributed Graph Algorithms] Architecture and algorithm for some graph problems
Undergraduate Project under Dr. Arnab Bhattacharya Aug 2015 - Nov 2015
The idea was to design and implement a generalized distributed architecture which can solve a typical
set of problems. And to demonstrate, use this architecture to compute all connected subgraphs of a
given graph.

• [Functional Programming] AriaDB: A key-value datastore in Haskell
Course Project under Dr. Piyush P Kurur October 2015
The aim was to design and develop a persistent datastore as a service exposing a simple REST API
as interface for concurrent access. The datastore stores data of any type, pre-defined or user defined.
It uses B+ Tree for indexing to ensure faster data access. It also does in-memory caching to enhance
retrieval of frequently accessed key-value pairs.

• [Machine Learning] Sentiment Analysis in Movie Reviews
Course Project under Dr. Harish Karnick April 2015
The task, from Kaggle, was to predict the sentiment of a movie review from the test set based on the
training set that was provided from the IMDb set of movie reviews.
• [Distributed B+ Tree] Efficient key distribution technique in distributed B+ Trees
Course Project in Advanced Databases under Dr. Arnab Bhattacharya March 2015
The aim was to implement a B+ Tree index structure over a distributed multi-node network; and to
devise an efficient distribution of nodes and analyze its performance. Efficient key distribution is done
using the domain knowledge of queries and mapping more frequent keys to better servers.
• [Compilers] Compiler for Python
Course Project under Dr. Subhajit Roy Jan 2015 - Apr 2015
An end-to-end compiler for Python in the MIPS architecture with support for loops, recursions, nested
functions and type inference implemented in Python.

• [Operating Systems] NachOS
Course Project under Dr. Mainak Chaudhari Aug 2014 - Nov 2014
Extended the standard system call library of NachOS; implemented process scheduling algorithms such as
UNIX scheduling, Round Robin, Shortest Job First and Non Pre-emptive; implemented page replacement
algorithms such as Random Page Allocation, FIFO, LRU and LRU Clock.
• [Computer Vision and Robotics] Bot Automation using Raspberry Pi
Summer Project under Programming Club May 2013
Automated a bot with on-board web-camera to search a green ball and to reach near it using Raspberry
Pi’s GPIO, OpenCV libraries for image processing in Python.
